Consulting Rates
Rates are informed by the Anti Oppression Resource Training Alliance
These rates are guidelines. We understand that some organizations don’t have lots of money available for training and consulting. If you are unable to pay within the range suggested for your organization but still feel that you are a good fit for our services, let us know and we will negotiate if possible. For contracts that include over 25 hours of consulting, a lower hourly rate may be negotiated.
We are willing to provide up to half an hour of our time at no cost to determine if our services are appropriate for you. After that half-hour, we will begin charging the appropriate hourly rate. For example, if your organization’s annual budget is $400,000 to $2 million the first hour would be between $87.50 – 137.50. Each hour after would be $175 – 275.

* We prioritize the Solidarity Rate for organizations that are doing movement-building work and/or work to build a solidarity economy and are led by communities of color, immigrants, and/or working-class and poor people. We consider additional factors beyond budget to determine whether an organization qualifies for our solidarity rate. Please ask us if you feel your organization should be considered for this category.
** We offer our services on a wide sliding scale. Our sliding scale is an intentional effort to distribute resources equitably between organizations we work with, including universities, nonprofits, cooperatives, and grassroots community organizations; as well as to support and strengthen groups doing strategic movement-building work. Our break-even rate is $225/hr. Paying at the higher end of the scale—the Movement Supporter rate—makes it possible for us to work with grassroots organizations at little to no cost to them.
